Did someone reject us or did our perfect Child Within guide us to an even BETTER solution?

 

Recovery isn’t how we see it as much as WE are how we see our world. This doesn’t mean that there is not all kinds of crazy weird stuff that happens that is mean, negative or outright bad. We cannot deny that those things happen. But we also cannot deny that we are the meaning makers of our lives. We are allowed to apply the meaning and perspective to everything that we see outside of us.

Everyone has the core fears that they aren’t enough and if they aren’t enough, they won’t be loved. Everyone. And MANY people spend more time looking for evidence about why they aren’t enough than why they are. Did someone reject us or did our perfect Child Within guide us to an even BETTER solution?

We have been victims of past events that we still identify with as a victim, but can we really be a victim of something that happened in the past unless we allow it in the present?

Is the world the way that we see it? Or are WE the way that we see the world? Making this distinction will be huge.

What are our top 10 grievances with recovery or our life? Are these beliefs actually true? What if they were simply a reflection of OUR childhood perception rather than actual fact? What would our life be like if we knew that the world was more a reflection of our childhood thoughts rather than the way that we see it?

This isn’t to say that we should bury our heads in the sand and just think positive. We have three parts of the mind when it comes to thinking; positive, negative and neutral. All three areas are there for a purpose. But we are not talking about false optimism either.

We are asking us a deep, rich and real question. Can we SEE that our recovery is less how we see it and that we are more how we see our recovery? Do we see an enemy or someone who deep down who is requesting KINDNESS? Is our brand of recovery that is holding us back? Or is it the story about our recovery that is holding us back? Can WE get past the fear and choose our RECOVERY over group thinking?

There is always an opportunity if we look for it. But if we are choosing to look for problems and problems only and then blame people for them, we lose our power.

How can We take our power back by doing an honest assessment of how we see our recovery and then questioning if our recovery journey is actually that way or if we are? And if we are that way – is that how we want to be? Or do we want to change it? And if we want to change it, who do we really want to be and why?
